Hi,
since nvidia driver update 169.09 -> 169.12, my setup doesn't work
anymore as expected.
Previously on my toshiba laptop (geforce 7600 go), at boot time,
I switch to dual screen mode using Fn+F5, then startup the boot
process (grub, etc...). If I don't do the mode switch (Fn+F5),
the driver isn't able to properly setup xinerama (probably a driver
bug as I don't need to do this trick with windows).
Now with 169.12 drivers, I don't need to do the switch mode anymore
(it seems better at this point) _but_ the screen is dark and the backlight
cannot be corrected (xbacklight isn't supported and Fn command does nothing
with this driver). This make the driver not usable for me.
cheers,
Fathi
PS: I know I can use twinview, but I need xinerama setup.
